Which leads me to my next question, with the financial restrictions covid has placed on us?

Who can we afford that matches your description?

Or do we stick with decent as that's all finances allow

How many experienced top class head coaches come to Super League? They are few and far between. Nathan Brown, I suppose. Michael Maguire had only been an assistant in the NRL. Peter Gentle had as much experience when he came to us and that didn't work out.

Adrian Lam was only ever assistant in the NRL I believe (had a brief spell as head coach of the PNG national team). Steve Price got the boot from the Dragons with a winning ratio of 36%. Tim Sheens hasn't pulled up any trees over here.

If only it were that simple, look at the Premiership, most teams throw more money around on coaches and players than the whole of SL could possibly dream about and still achieve nothing.

And we've got no money.

Bring back Crusher.

The most successful coaches in the superleague era are all British, two of them are still coaching (sort of).

You may be right but misses the point
The top three teams in S/L all have overseas coaches.
You only have to look at St Helens when they changed Cunningham to see how they have developed.
No point us supporters arguing because there is only one man at the club who can make the call and thats Adam Pearson and i think he will.

He’s called Barclays and. they said no

I would love a top class coach, but we ain't getting one on the budget I suspect we are on. So the question is what can we get for our money? I'm personally a fan of Danny Ward but he's another gamble I admit.

Why not?

ManU have been spending money like confetti for years trying to buy success and it still hasn't happened.

Man U haven't had success? In relative terms they propably spend no more now then they did 10 years ago. The difference is 10 years ago they had a world class manager.

So why haven't they got one now?

Through choice, not through a lack of funds.

They made the wrong decisions

Like Man City, Man Utd are guilty of arrogance, throw Chelsea in there too, Liverpool are doing well because FSG have rebuilt the club from the bottom, FC are messed up because LR destroyed the creativity of the playing group, all he wanted is crash, bang, wallop and RL is not like that now, it will take 3 to 4 years to get rid of his legacy (and his mates). The best thing that could happen for FC is a new owner who will bin Last and the old hands, it is a sad state of affairs when a 39 year old man makes so much difference by just being on the pitch, Radford may have been the guy in the media when we won b2b cups, but Ellis is the core of the club. Houghton, Shaul, Taylor would not get a game in the top four, Jones doesn't want to play, Kelly is going (ambitious to go to the mighty Leigh), Pearson brought in Purtill and we see noithing of him, and the more I read about people thinking Wane should be coaching us the more I think my money is better spent on something more entertaining, like buying some paint and watching it dry.
